I just signed up for a challenge that’s very close to my heart — swimming 5 miles this September to support the American Cancer Society.

Cancer has taken far too many of my loved ones—family and friends who fought so bravely but were gone too soon. This cause isn’t just important to me, it’s personal.

I’ve just started swim classes (today was actually my first one!) and already clocked 600 yards toward my goal. Every stroke I take is for the people we’ve lost and for the hope of a future without cancer.

If you’re able, please consider donating to my fundraiser. ACS is one of the highest-rated charities out there, so your support truly makes an impact. Every little bit helps, and I’d be so grateful for anything you can give.

I will update my swim distance every week after, I’ve had my couple of days of class.

Together, we can help make waves toward a world without cancer. ✨
